Sexual violence or rape has remained a weapon
against women for centuries now. However, it seems like we are hearing about it
only now. There are several reasons why. Women are no longer the Âweaker sexÂ,
there is more awareness about sexual crimes, therefore, more complaints being
registered, and, last but not the least, media is keeping a keen eye on such
cases, more so than ever. But has this stopped or deterred the sexual offenders
in any way? Apparently not! The National Crime Records Bureau (NCRB) reported
that there were 88 rape cases recorded every day during 2019. So, when the law
of land, growing awareness, and media scrutiny could not halt this heinous
crime, what more needs to be done, one might be tempted to ask.
Well, creating awareness about the rapistÂs
behavior might help women avoid getting caught in this unfortunate situation,
right? That is what author Jasbir Singh realized and ended up writing his third
book, which is ÂWhy Does A Man Rape? With this book, Jasbir Singh is bringing
social change through his words. The book has received rave reviews from
everyone who has sampled a reading of it. The book is already available for
purchase online. This is JasbirÂs third book after
ÂForever a Promise and ÂI am Also A Human. His writing prowess is already
well-known, for which he has been included in the Indian Awaz list of Â10
Inspiring Authors of India for the year 2018.
According to Jasbir, when he read about the
gruesome Muzaffarnagar shelter home rapes, he was shaken to the core and jolted
into taking action as per his skills, i.e., writing about it. To give vent to
his motivation, he began with preparation for a research-based documentary,
which would analyze different aspects of the rape crime. He couldnÂt help but
go into the history of rape. Talking about the preparation that went into
making the documentary as well as writing this book, the author says, ÂI have
done my best to cover various aspects and perspectives in analyzing the facts
and issues. Some of the facts that I unearthed shocked me to my core.Â
Describing his third book, Jasbir says, ÂThis
work is purely research-based. It is a 360-degree analysis of the rape epidemic
in our country. The book is written in a simple, readable style, without going
into too much technicality about the topic. He suggests that anybody who is
moved by the plight of rape victims and is concerned about where our society is
going should read his book. The book is also a must-read for anybody who
regularly deals with a rape victim or a sexual offender in his or her line of
work.
The bestselling author Jasbir Singh aspires to
